Normal POV
The day was long and horribly boring. Unfortunately, Giterstar was not the most boring teacher. Most of the teachers were quite droll, boring, and difficult to listen to. The highlight of the day was Adderfang.
Although the students only had two classes a day, they were long and full of lectures. But word traveled fast. Adderfang was fun, extremely sarcastic, and a fantastic teacher. He taught calculus, and Honeyfern and Hazeltail were both excited- he taught their calculus class on Friday. Not only that, but much like biology class, most of the Thunder population took that class.
As soon as she got back to her room, Honeyfern sent out a mass text to their group chat.
Honeyfern: Let's all get together tonight and check out the basement. Reply if you're in!
She turned off her phone and trilled to herself, "Yes!" as her phone already started pinging.
"Why," Hollyleaf moaned as she banged her head on her desk, "is there so much homework in university?!"
Cinderheart shrugged and opened up her notebook on her own desk. "It's university. Of course there's a lot of homework."
"But why is it so difficult?!" Hollyleaf cried, throwing her hands in the air. "And on the first day?!"
"Who were your teachers?"
"Calculus with Adderfang and Biology with Giterstar," the black-haired girl groaned, twirling the black pen between her fingers aimlessly.
Cinderheart knit her eyebrows. "But... Giterstar didn't assign homework."
"I know."
"Neither did Adderfang."
"...I know."
"So why the heck do you have homework?!"
"I have to stay ahead on all my topics," the crazy girl declared, flipping through another page in her textbook. "I have to know the next few lesson plans. I have to be prepared because we have so many subjects at once. I have to-"
Cinderheart groaned and face-palmed. This was going to be a long year.
"How were classes for you?" Lionblaze asked Jayfeather from the safety of their cozy dorm room at the end of the day.
The blind boy shrugged. "Same old, same old, I guess. Although Foxleap did make things interesting."
The blond boy laughed. "Yeah, no kidding. That ginger certainly knows how to spice things up." He paused, shelving the notebooks from that day into an empty drawer. "Say, how are you and Half Moon? You haven't talked about her much."
"We broke up."
"WHAT?!"
Jayfeather clapped his hands over his ears. "Yell a little louder, I don't think everyone heard you," he said sarcastically.
Lionblaze lowered his voice. "Sorry. But, when the heck did this happen? Why?"
"She and Fallen Leaves went to a different university," he replied, shrugging, "and we both decided that a long distance relationship probably wasn't a good idea. It was only a few weeks ago."
"Why didn't you tell me?" Lionblaze asked.
Jayfeather shrugged for the third time in the past few minutes. "You didn't ask."
"Geez. Sorry about that."
"No problem," Jayfeather said with a sigh. "It's done now."
There was an awkward pause until Lionblaze asked suddenly, "did Hollyleaf and Fallen Leaves break up, then?"
"No," the blind boy replied, running his fingers along the braille markings in his book. "They decided to stay together, even if the relationship is long distance. Won't last long, if you ask me."
They fell into silence, and Lionblaze really didn't know what else to say. The fact that Jayfeather hadn't felt the need to tell him about the break up was kind of aggravating, but this was Jayfeather. He was always aggravating.
"By the way," Jayfeather said suddenly, "you stink of egg. Take a shower."
Lionblaze's face reddened. "Hey!"
"So there's that 'Welcome to University' dance on Saturday," Nightcloud drawled, crossing her legs over each other and tilting her ear to the phone. "We have to be the hottest ones there."
"Definitely," Millie agreed for the other end of the line. "I've got a teal mini dress I want to wear."
Nightcloud raised her eyebrows, although Millie couldn't see, and nodded. "Perfect, I approve. Who's your room mate?"
"I got a single room," the girl cheered through the phone. "How about you?"
The black-haired diva rolled her eyes. "I got a double, but I've been informed that the girl who was supposed to be with me moved out after she found out I was her room mate. Swallow something. I guess she just couldn't stand being in the same room as someone so beautiful."
"Obviously," the girl scoffed on the other end of the phone, and Nightcloud grinned.
There was a knock at the Wind girl's door and she said good bye to Millie and stalked over to the door. She peered out the small peephole- it was that lady who made the introductions, Morningflower. She was nice enough, but pretty stupid, Nightcloud noted. She swung open the door. "Yes?"
"Hey, Nightcloud," Morningflower chirped happily. "Unfortunately, I've got some bad news for you."
Nightcloud rolled her eyes. Morningflower's idea of 'bad news' could be that the flowers outside died or something like that. "Shoot."
"You won't be having a room mate this year," she said, "because there's... an odd number of Wind girls."
"Fine by me," Nightcloud said with a shrug.
"So there will be movers tomorrow during your class time to take away the extra bed and such. Are you okay with that?"
Nightcloud's lips parted and her mouth stretched into a grin. "That would be perfect. So, I can bring in my own stuff?"
"Only if it passes protocol," Morningflower said strictly. "Which brings me to my second piece of news."
The diva cocked her head. "What?"
"The shippers who were delivering some of the boxes to the dorm rooms accidentally lost a box," Morningflower said apologetically. "It wasn't strapped down properly, and tumbled into a river and was washed away. The box was too big to fish out of the river."
Nightcloud's eyes bugged.
"The box of your many shoes got lost," Morningflower finished.
Her jaw dropped. Her perfectly mascaraed eyes went wide. "So I have to survive on what I brought in my suitcase?"
The floor leader blinked. "You brought six pairs anyways. You should be alright."
"MY SHOES!" Nightcloud roared, clenching her fists angrily. "MY SHOOOOOOOES!"
Morningflower smiled brightly. "I'm so glad you understand. I'll be leaving now!" She closed the door.
Nightcloud collapsed to the floor, glaring up at the ceiling in distaste. "Fifteen pairs of perfectly good shoes lost," she huffed angrily, gritting her teeth. "And I just bought some of those too!" She moaned in agony. "Why me?!"
